We used to use hair spray on charcoal drawings and pastel in art school back in the 1980’s. It was cheap then, fixative was a relatively new product and very expensive. I think that’s where the idea came from to use hairspray. Love your drawings.❤

@camilladiderichsen6349 Рік тому

I love your work. Thanks so much

@danyelhudon458 Рік тому

TKY for thèses precious tips and tricks! It is well appreciated by me and for a lot of beginners!

@Anneliese_Klotz Рік тому

Great that you advise against hairspray! The number one reason not to use hairspray is that it is not lightfast and will yellow over time! It's for hair, not for art!

@SabrinaHawk Рік тому

Incredible video, so many helpful tips

@jessicamatheneyfineart Рік тому

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching.

I love your channel so much! I love your art style and you have so much talent, keep up the amazing work! God Bless you

@jessicamatheneyfineart Рік тому

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

@danielcassidy4857 Рік тому

Yeah... my high school art teacher told me to use hair spray as a fixatif... Thank you for your tips. I'm glad I found your channel

@AlexisCassandraArt Рік тому

yes I agree you should wait for your paper to completely dry before working on another layer! better to be safe and wait longer than be sorry!

@ceceparra5612 Рік тому

Love your work and these are great tips! I have heard of hairspray back in my art school days being a great alternative to fixative spray but always felt afraid of the sticky and possible wet accidental sprays on my drawing. Would there be another low-cost alternative to fixative you would recommended?

@eddiemcgrath8536 Рік тому

hairspray would turn yellow eventually, not a good look for your artwork.

Great learning video….What do you call your knife…the brand, and where do you purchase one? Thank you!

@dijosephine9556 Рік тому

Hi Jessica. Does your Patreon channel have any birds? I love colour, birds, and flowers as well. But your fur is brilliant and so much useful information.👍❤️

@jessicamatheneyfineart Рік тому

I've started adding some birds, the animals I draw are voted for by patrons.

@wastdrokrangr2990 Рік тому

Is it common to re draw the same photo multiple times until you get the finished product that you want? I understand how to stay motivated for art in general, but how do you motivate yourself to draw the same thing, doing the same patterns, the same shading, and the same image over and over again?

@jessicamatheneyfineart Рік тому

Personally I find drawing the same thing very unmotivating, I think drawing a variety of different subjects is best and more motivating than anything.

@jenjenf1996 9 місяців тому

Oh my, and sometimes I cringe when I see artists use way too much solvent also or soak their colored pencils. It’s almost like their should be a way to tell UKposts that whatever the channel is teaching is bogus and there is a lot of it.😅

@eddiemcgrath8536 Рік тому

Do you stretch your paper beforehand if using solvent blender? I'm new to colored pencils and unsure.

@jessicamatheneyfineart Рік тому

There is no need to stretch paper or do anything with it before you start drawing. All you do is draw, apply solvent with a brush to blend, wait for it to dry, and then draw some more.

@claritzairosario68 Рік тому

OMG, they definitely do! I would like you to make a video on how to apply the colored pencil gently, because I saw a video here on UKposts, and I said: What??? the Artist used the colored pencils, adding a lot of pressure of the pencils! and lumps could be seen😱, the worst thing that happened, was, that he showed the back of the paper, where all the strokes he made could be seen, all the paper was marked, as if it were embossed! I could not believe it! and he said that this was the correct way to use colored pencils! 😳

@travisnobleart Рік тому

I'd like to know more about this. I've had the impression that as long as it's a final layer and the value is in the darker range, it's fine to burnish furiously. Is it possible to get nice pigmented layers in the darks without a burnish?

@claritzairosario68 Рік тому

@@travisnobleart Hi there! Of course it can be done, you can use a odorless mineral spirit, for blending, and laydown the pigments, and add more layers, until you are satisfied. But what I meant in the comment is not of burnishing, it's how you add color, layer after layer, but softly, not too hard.

@jessicamatheneyfineart Рік тому

If he was using wax based pencils, they do naturally crumble, but to apply so much pressure with your pencil that you're embossing the paper? That's too much pressure. 😆 Multiple pass-over layers with moderate/firm pressure are more than enough to get a really nice burnish blend.

@jessicamatheneyfineart Рік тому

@@travisnobleart Yes it is possible, I do it all the time, I use solvent for the first few layers and then do that final layer of darker pencil over the top to darken/smooth, and I do not have to apply hardly any pressure to do it. If you're doing a final layer of dark's and press really hard and sort of emboss the paper, that's when it doesn't matter so much anymore to damage the paper like that, but it's totally not necessary! Not only that, but pressing really hard applies too much of the pencil and makes it super shiny, being patient and just doing multiple layers over one another with minimal pressure gets better results.

@claritzairosario68 Рік тому

@@jessicamatheneyfineart yeah, horrible! He was use Prismacolor, you know they are a wax base pencils. When I saw this, I freaked out😳😂, it looked disgusting, all those clumps, oh my!!! and he was pressing the pencil, and he just embossing the paper horrible! yes of course definitely, but...it was a tremendous mess😅 And thanks for answering the question to the previous guy, and for your expert advise😊
